Pakistan U19 (347/8) crush India U19 (156) by 191 runs in the final to clinch their second ACC U19 Asia Cup title

[jamie smith fan]

Usman Khan batting like this mean this pitch is soo flat to even chase 400 runs

Haan 500 bhi chase hojayega

 

[jamie smith fan]

Ahmed single double hussain on the crease

 

[saabir]

This boy Sameer is a good find for Pakistan. He will be next Babar Azam of pakistan..Babar is not a natural sweeper but Sameer Minhas is a very good sweeper. He is more of a Mahila Jayawardena Type of player..

yea, very solid against spin...

Yeah seems to execute his sweeps well. Executing lap shots well too.

The kid is certainly dynamic and seems to be able to handle pace & spinners at good level. Certainly a batsmen developed suited to the modern game.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Patel as a left arm spinner keeps bowling to lefty batters and they can't even get a single off him. It's really sad to watch...

All he is doing is bowling wide and these guys simply have no offside game to even get a single.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Minhas finally gets the strike to face Patel and immediately smashes him for a six.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This pitch has the least grass, in this tournament, according to commentators.

Extremely questionable decision to chase if that's true

 

[jamie smith fan]

Pak need to get 340-350

 

[khyberlion]

Ahmad Hussain is probably the worst batsmen I have seen from Pakistan u19 and there have been shocking ones.

 

[jamie smith fan]

Ahmad Hussain is probably the worst batsmen I have seen from Pakistan u19 and there have been shocking ones.

He is good tbh.
He just doesnt have power in his armd

 

[BouncerGuy]

Minhas is a solid talent.. These minhas brothers are definitely talented...

 

[Nasty Naz]

Ahmad Hussain is probably the worst batsmen I have seen from Pakistan u19 and there have been shocking ones.

Very underwhelmed with both him & Usman. Both just seem like lack side hacks with no offside game or rotation ability.

Neither look aesthetically pleasing either. I don't know how either made it on the team.

 

[khyberlion]

He is good tbh.
He just doesnt have power in his armd

He is an awful batsmen. Can you tell us what is good about his batting? I can list a ton on how poor he is.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Minhas with a century in just 71 balls. Incredibly innings.

I'd bet he ends up getting drafted for PSL too.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Brilliant hundred form Sameer.... Century in the final is not a small thing for any player at any level.... Outstanding

 

[khyberlion]

Very underwhelmed with both him & Usman. Both just seem like lack side hacks with no offside game or rotation ability.

Neither look aesthetically pleasing either. I don't know how either made it on the team.

Usman is poor too but is still miles better than Ahmad. Ahmad doesn't have any ability at all. I will be surprised if he makes it to FC teams.

 

[IAJ]

Love this approach by Sameer, a daddy hundred is needed here.

 

[IAJ]

Clownish fielding by India u19s

 

[harshjoshi87]

Wrong move by India to field first when you have bowled the same opposition out for 145 chasing last week.

Kanitkar, Joshi what are they doing?

 

[m.shah]

Usman is poor too but is still miles better than Ahmad. Ahmad doesn't have any ability at all. I will be surprised if he makes it to FC teams.

Both are poor . May be parchi selections

 

[Nasty Naz]

206-2 after 30 overs. The best batting we have seen from this group (well, basically just Minhas) in this tournament.

What's the old saying, double up your score after 30 overs? I would certainly love to see that happen.

 

[khyberlion]

Both are poor . May be parchi selections

Apparently they both topped the charts.

 

[jamie smith fan]

Both are poor . May be parchi selections

He was 2nd largest run getter in u19 cup

 

[RidiculousMan]

Sameer needs to stay till the end to ensure Pakistan reaches 360+.

He is key. Otherwise Pakistan is prone to collapse

 

[saabir]

Indian boys feeling the pressure. Mis fielding, over throws. captain need to calm them down and ease the nerve

 

[IAJ]

Such mature display from Sameer. He knows he can’t throw it away here and looking for a real big one.

 

[BouncerGuy]

India is all over the place atm... They are feeling the heat..

 

[RidiculousMan]

Ahmad Hussain is probably the worst batsmen I have seen from Pakistan u19 and there have been shocking ones.

He doesn't have power game but has shown grit. Plus can bowl spin. He can improve his game. Still is young. But mentality is good

 

[saabir]

This sameer boy totally dominating Indian bowlers so far.

 

[jamie smith fan]

Usman is poor too but is still miles better than Ahmad. Ahmad doesn't have any ability at all. I will be surprised if he makes it to FC teams.

Ahmed may be poor but he is scoring runs

 

[Devadwal]

India is all over the place atm... They are feeling the heat..

Congratulations. It's over for india U-19 . They can't Chase 300+ forget here chasing 360. :ko

 

[saabir]

India is all over the place atm... They are feeling the heat..

Onslaught of Sameer Minhas have taken them by surprise . They were not expecting this kind of start

 

[jamie smith fan]

Ahmed is 3rd highest run getter in this tournament but dont know why he is criticized this much

 

[RidiculousMan]

Wrong move by India to field first when you have bowled the same opposition out for 145 chasing last week.

Kanitkar, Joshi what are they doing?

I agree. In Final batting first is the better choice. Specially when the opposition is weaker on the batting side and you are stronger

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan should reach 350 from here.

They are looking good to win this final.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Sameer's ability to make big daddy hundreds is big plus.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Ahmed may be poor but he is scoring runs

He's not poor. Anybody that scores runs in important matches should not be called poor. Specially when others around him haven't scored much apart from Sameer

 

[RidiculousMan]

What a shot. Chip off the hips for a six on mid on

 

[IAJ]

Very seldom you see a Pakistani young player good on both sides of the field. This kid is pure class.

 

[harshjoshi87]

I agree. In Final batting first is the better choice. Specially when the opposition is weaker on the batting side and you are stronger

India did the same mistake in Champions Trophy 2017 final.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Very seldom you see a Pakistani young player good on both sides of the field. This kid is pure class.

Impressive single and double game as well. Javed bhai would be proud

 

[BouncerGuy]

Sameer's ability to make big daddy hundreds is big plus.

Yes... Converting small ones to big hundred... Have not seen this ability much in Pakistan batters... I think Fakhar has that ability only.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Pakistan has now great pool of young batters, now it's up to PCB how they handle

 

[sweep_shot]

Sameer is on 124*.

18 more overs left. If he stays there till 50th over, he should get a double century.

 

[khyberlion]

He doesn't have power game but has shown grit. Plus can bowl spin. He can improve his game. Still is young. But mentality is good

He doesn't have any ability. It is not about power. He's more limited than most tail enders at international level.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Wow what a terrific player this Sameer guy is , equally plays spin as well and has a good temperament

 

[Muhammad Saad]

He doesn't have any ability. It is not about power. He's more limited than most tail enders at international level.

Agreed Ahmed Hussain is a nothing player , shoaib Malik 2.0 in the making.

 

[khyberlion]

Ahmed may be poor but he is scoring runs

That wasn't the question. You said he's good.

 

[khyberlion]

Agreed Ahmed Hussain is a nothing player , shoaib Malik 2.0 in the making.

Batting wise he's far worse.

 

[khyberlion]

Wow what a terrific player this Sameer guy is , equally plays spin as well and has a good temperament

He looked a class apart from game 1 in comparison to his his team mates.

 

[Nasty Naz]

The way the game has gone, it almost seems like teams have swapped jerseys. Comedy of errors from India in their fielding throughout the game. Some of their players don't even seem that fit.

 

[Human786]

Game over ... 240/2 in 35 . IU19 have been very mediocre today .

 

[Ahmed216]

Epic knock from Minhas. And he looks hungry for more. Great talent

 

[BouncerGuy]

Sameer is just next level atm.... India bowlers are looking like nothing atm... That is a complete 360 degree change from thier last meeting

 

[RidiculousMan]

Who is this commentator that is always shouting?

 

[IAJ]

If a wicket falls here they should send in Huzaifah?

 

[IAJ]

Who is this commentator that is always shouting?

They are all shouting.

WOW what a shot there by Sameer

 

[BouncerGuy]

If a wicket falls here they should send in Huzaifah?

Can he smash?

 

[BouncerGuy]

Everything sameer is touching atm is turning into gold.... Dominating stuff this

 

[RidiculousMan]

They are all shouting.

WOW what a shot there by Sameer

Nah. There's one now with Roshan who is always shouting

 

[m.shah]

Congratulations. It's over for india U-19 . They can't Chase 300+ forget here chasing 360. :ko

India just need 20 overs of surya or Ayush

 

[IAJ]

Can he smash?

He played really well against India last time making 70 with a couple of sixes when Pakistan made 150.

 

[jamie smith fan]

One handed sixer from ahmed hussain and gone now

 

[Human786]

260/3 in 37.3 ... 350 ?

 

[jamie smith fan]

India just need 20 overs of surya or Ayush

Pak is winning it

 

[Muhammad Saad]

They are wasting a spot with Ahmed Hussain, he will not get in to even a FC team.

 

[IAJ]

Ouff when he finally was going to attack he get’s out.

 

[IAJ]

They are wasting a spot with Ahmed Hussain, he will not get in to even a FC team.

Played a good supporting role.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Ouff when he finally was going to attack he get’s out.

May be blessing in disguise that he got out.

 

[jamie smith fan]

They are wasting a spot with Ahmed Hussain, he will not get in to even a FC team.

He is 3rd highest run getter in this series

 

[IAJ]

Captain needs to step up here

 

[jamie smith fan]

Captain needs to step up here

He is crap

 

[Usman Chadda]

Farhan Yousuf seems to be another one from the dot shot dot shot academy.

Besides Sameer Minhas, none of these batsmen will even be picked up by our first-class teams.

 

[IAJ]

Killing the momentum

 

[Usman Chadda]

What a horrible little innings so far from the captain, completely killed all the momentum.

 

[IAJ]

Finally

 

[Nasty Naz]

Minhas reaches 150+. What an incredible knock from him.

Kid's a special talent.

 

[IAJ]

I haven’t been this excited over a young players since I saw Babar Azam as a 15 years old kid.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Once again captain is killing the momentum.
As usual for pakistan
